The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.  (Proverbs 18:18)

Is the lot still relevant for today?  Interesting perspectives.  Got Questions - What was the practice of casting lots?

I had a couple of other sites I had previewed, but can not locate them again.  I thought it particularly interesting that the number of times the casting of lots is used in the NT versus the OT was significant.  Additionally, that once the outpouring of the Holy Spirit was given there is no more mention of using that method to discern the Lord's will.

Still searching....found this one:   Shall we cast lots? Pursuit of "Biblical Patterns" - thought provoking and a good exhortation.
